TESTAMENT Explains Dudley Cancellation

July 26, 2006

Veteran San Francisco Bay Area metallers TESTAMENT have issued the following statement regarding the cancellation of their July 26 show at JB's in Dudley, England:

"Due to unfortunate circumstances, TESTAMENT will be unable to perform at the scheduled show set for today, July 26th, at JB's in Dudley, England. They are experiencing time and mechanical issues with the tour bus they are using. The band would like to apologize to the fans for the cancellation, and hope to make up the date at a later time. As we are posting this, the band is finally on their way to Spain and will make it in time for the show."

TESTAMENT is scheduled to perform at the Metalway Festival in Jerez, Spain on Friday.

As previously reported, TESTAMENT drummer Louie Clemente is unable to perform with the band on the upcoming shows in July/August due to "medical reasons." Filling in for Louie is Paul Bostaph — a former member of TESTAMENT for a brief period starting around February 2004, who had also previously played several live dates with the group in 1992 and appeared on the band's 1993 live EP, "Return To The Apocalyptic City".
